What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Natural Resources Board consists of seven members

nominated by the governor and with the advice and consent of the senate appointed

for six-year terms. Current law requires that at least three of the members be from

north, and at least three of the members be from south, of a line running east and

west through the southern limits of the city of Stevens Point.

This bill requires that, beginning in 2017, at least one member of the Natural

Resources Board have an agricultural background. The bill also requires that,

beginning in 2017, at least three members of the Natural Resources Board have held

a hunting, fishing, or trapping license in at least seven of the ten years before the year

of nomination. If an individual served on active duty in the military during the ten

years before nomination, the number of years in which the individual is required to

have held an annual hunting, fishing, or trapping license equals seven minus the

number of years of active duty.
